without fee or penalty, upon thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the Holder.
8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If any of the following events (herein
individually referred to as an "Event of Default") shall occur,
the Holder may, at any time during the period in which the Event
of Default is continuing, declare the entire principal and unpaid
accrued interest hereof immediately due and payable, by notice in
writing to Cavanaughs:

Amount") into shares of Common Stock of Cavanaughs as follows:
the Conversion Amount may be converted into that number of shares

the Common Stock of Cavanaughs (the "Conversion Price"); provided,

and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion
pursuant to this Section 4, such number of its shares of Common
Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion pursuant to this Section 4.
EFFECT OF CONVERSION. Upon conversion in accordance with
Section 4 of all or any portion of the principal and accrued
interest owing under this instrument:
(a) CONVERSION DATE. Such conversion shall be deemed to occur on
the date that is five (5) business days after written notice
of conversion is received by Cavanaughs (the "Conversion
Date").
(b) Certificates On the Conversion Date or as soon as practicable
thereafter, Cavanaughs shall issue and deliver to the Holder
a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of
stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. The Holder
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of
such stock on the Conversion Date.
(c) SATISFACTION OF INSTRUMENT. Xxxxxxxxx'x issuance of shares
of stock to the Holder upon conversion of the Conversion
Amount pursuant to the terms of this instrument shall
constitute satisfaction in full of Xxxxxxxxx'x obligation to
pay the Conversion Amount, and the portion of this instrument
represented by the Conversion Amount shall thereafter be of
no further force or effect.
10. GOVERNING LAW. This instrument shall be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington
without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
